[Example continued…] The average YouTube user spends 40 minutes per session, using YouTube (μ = 40), and σ is unknown. Test whether ARC students who are YouTube users (n = 16, M = 45, SS = 6000) differ from the average YouTube user on number of minutes spent using YouTube per session. α = .05. The correct APA format for the result would be

[Example continued…] The personality trait of “Conscientiousness” (someone who is organized, responsible, and can control their impulses) has μ = 120 and σ =9. Test whether ARC students (n = 9, M = 126) differ on Conscientiousness. α = .05. What type of error could you be making?
